MICKLE STREET was named after John W. Mickle, a prominent figure in both local and State affairs in the 1840s and 1850s. He was one of the organizers and a shareholder for many years in the Federal Street Ferry, and had a large stake in the Camden and Amboy Railroad. On of the major east-west roads in Camden, Mickle Street runs from the Delaware River west past Haddon Avenue toward the Cooper River. The famous poet, Walt Whitman, made his home for many years in the 300 block of Mickle Street; his home is still standing, and has been converted into a museum in his honor. During the ferry and railroad era, the trains that served South Jersey ran east parallel to Mickle Street. The tracks were elevated so that street traffic to South Camden would not be interrupted. This was known as the "Chinese Wall". It was eliminated in the 1960s. Mickle Boulevard runs parallel to Federal Street in East Camden. One section of Mickle Street runs from 15th to 17th Street. A second section runs from Marlton Avenue to South 26th street, While a third section of Mickle Street begins at Eutaw Street, in front of the Joseph Hatch House, and continues East to Woodrow Wilson High School at South 31st Street. Mickle picks back up for four blocks, between South 33rd and South 36th Streets. St George Methodist Episcopal Church was located here from the 1890s until it burned down sometime after 1980. The William McKinley Elementary School was also located here, from the 1990s until it closed in the 1950s. It also fell victim to fire. In the late 1990s the City Council of the City of Camden renamed many streets. Most of these names have failed to gain popular acceptance over the years. Mickle Street in Central Camden, which had been renamed Mickle Boulevard when the railroad tracks were taken out and the street was widened to six lanes, was again renamed, this time as Martin Luther King Boulevard. While Dr. King's deeds are beyond doubt deserving of some recognition, John Mickle did much for Camden, and the decision to rename, like several others made during this period, showed an acute lack of knowledge and sensitivity on the part of City Council and the Mayor's Office. Tourists, scholars and students from out of town and foreign lands now have a difficult time finding the Walt Whitman House, as every literary and biographical text written concerning him refers to Mickle Street. Fortunately, most Camden residents have to date ignored the assorted name changes. Mickle Street in East Camden was not made part of the renaming campaign. Besides the Walt Whitman House, the Joseph Hatch House, Woodrow Wilson High School, and St. George's Methodist Episcopal Church, several other significant business and buildings have stood or presently stand on Mickle Street, including the Alfred Cramer Elementary School, Mickle and Riverview Towers, apartment homes for senior citizens, the Garden Hotel, Broadway Eddie's record store, the Water Rand Transportation Center, and the Camden County Jail. Wiggins Park is at Mickle Boulevard's eastern end, as is the Tweeter Center and the New Jersey State Aquarium; Cooper Hospital, the Camden Police Administration Building, and Camden's Civil War Soldier's Monument are just a few steps from Mickle. The Holl Block stood on Broadway between Stevens and Mickle Street for over 50 years. The New Jersey National Guard Armory (the home of the Camden Public Works Department for many years) is on Wright Avenue at Mickle Street. Camden's City Hall stood on Haddon Avenue near Mickle prior to the opening in 1931 of the building presently in use. Sadly, Mickle Street has also been the subject of criminal activity in the 1990s and the first years of the 21st century. A convicted drug dealer was removed from the streets permanently in 1996 by law enforcement officers serving our community, at the Happy Dragon Chinese Restaurant at 29th & Mickle Street, which in prior years had been a corner grocery. Sadly, eight years later other social parasites returned to the corner, robbed, pistol-whipped, and shot the hard-working immigrant owner, Bao Xing Lin, in front of his son, on March 11, 2004. The killers took $150.00 from the restaurant. As of this writing in April 2004, the three gangsters have been arrested, and it is my sincere desire that they be permanently removed from society, and hopefully this earth. The store has since been converted into a private residence. |

Camden blaze hospitalizes 3 A fire early Wednesday left three people hospitalized and 11 people homeless, including five children, authorities said. The blaze broke out around 12:50 a.m. in the 300 block of Mickle Boulevard. When police arrived, they found the structure engulfed in flames and learned that three or four residents of the unit were still inside, police spokeswoman Teresa Sicard Archambeault said. Firefighters arrived moments later and got the occupants to safety, Archambeault said. Three of the residents were taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden. Their conditions were not available late Wednesday. A fourth was provided temporary housing through the American Red Cross. Residents of the unit next door also were displaced because of smoke damage. They were temporarily relocated to a relative's residence. A neighbor reported hearing someone throw a firebomb through a window, Archambeault said, but police, fire and arson officials are still investigating what caused the blaze. |

II grew up at 422 Mickle Street and left in March 1953 to join the Air Force. At that time there was very little crime in the neighborhood. Jersey Joe Walcott lived at 331 Mickle Street, when he because World Heavy Weight Champion. Yes, the numbers was played and law enforcement looked the other way. Mayor Brunner was in office for many years and was a big time poker player. When I was 12 years old, he played at 3rd and Berkley in a place called 3rd Ward Social Club. Big time players came there from far away places to play in this game. Mayor Brunner was always escorted by policeman to and from. I earned very big tips from the players, by riding up on my bicycle to the White Tower to pick up food and drinks, in the wee hours of the morning. I remember Camden when it was the place to live. Broadway was the place to shop or go to any one of the theaters. The Grand, Stanley, Savar, Lyric, Princess, Star or Roxy. Not many had a car and really did not need one. Most people worked at Campbell Soup, Esterbrook Pen, NY Shipyard, RCA or Magnetic Metals. We walked to school and never heard of school buses. Ted Cannon |

| He Doesn't Know Hoffman
To the Editor: Sir-I am more than surprised In reading that former Governor Hoffman has accepted the position as executive director of the State Unemployment Compensation Commission. If I remember correctly it was this same governor who wanted to raise a fund of $25,000 to defeat ·the formation of this commission, and also was the governor who said that the unemployed of New Jersey were a bunch of bums. Now that this same ex-governor has decided to accept the job as chief executive of the unemployed, I believe, that his title should be changed. Instead of being called executive director, he should now be addressed as king, for now he is "King of the Bums." I am also wondering if politics has anything to do with his accepting this position at a salary of $12, 000 per year. When he could have had another with an insurance company at $25,000 per year. By the looks of things, I believe that· the unemployed are going to make up the difference in salary by getting less relief. If the relief clients of New Jersey expect a fair deal they will have to get rid of Hoffman. He once called you bums; and bums you will be as far as he is concerned. While you are struggling on $600 to $700 per year and maybe less, the poor ex-governor will have to I try and live on a measly $12,000. What a hard time he will have! R.

RAHWAY GETS MAN
FOR THEFT OF $20 James Brody, 22, of 4341 Fortythird Street, Pennsauken Township, yesterday was sentenced to serve an indefinite term in Rahway Reformatory today in Criminal Court. A jury found him guilty of participation in a $20 robbery three years ago. The jury deliberated for one hour and a half. The state charged that Brody, in company with Harry Schultz, 2162 Berwick Street, and William Dempsey, 2271 Mickle Street, went to the candy store of Mrs. Celia Schulman, 2902 High Street, threatened her with a pistol and took the money on Oct. 23, 1930. Schultz and Dempsey were subsequently arrested, tried and sentenced to two years each. Brody was indicted and declared a fugitive. In court yesterday Brody denied that he had made an attempt to evade arrest and said he had been working as a hand on a dredge in the Delaware River. He said if there was a holdup he knew nothing about it for on the day in question he was intoxicated and merely took a ride with the two convicted bandits. "I was so drunk I don't remember anything," he declared. "If there was a holdup, I had nothing to do with it;" A fatal automobile accident resulted in Brody's arrest on the holdup charge. On the 28th of last month William Urban, 60, 109 Allen's Court, a passenger in Brody's car, was killed when the machine collided with a bus. During the subsequent investigation of the crash, Detective William Lehman remembered that a fugitive warrant had never been served on Brody and placed him under arrest. |

Jobless Men Aid Police to Trap Suspects Surrounding a vacant house at 331 Boyd Street which two alleged thieves had entered, a group of unemployed men yesterday cut off every avenue of escape until police arrived. The men, who were found hiding in a second floor closet, police said, gave their names as Barney Runyon, 26, and William Newcomb, 22, both of 2301 Mickle Street. A telephone call to the home of Patrolman Earl Stopfer, of 226 Boyd Street, by a resident in the vicinity of the vacant house, informed Mrs. Stopfer that two men were in the house. With her husband on desk duty at city hall, Mrs. Stopfer went to the home of Lieutenant Nathan Petit, 320 Boyd Street, but he was out. She then sent a group of unemployed men working on community gardens in the rear of her home to the scene and telephoned police. The unemployed men were circled about the house when a patrol crew, under Patrolman George Getley arrived. The two men already had dismantled plumbing fixtures, Getley said. They were committed in default of $500 bail each for a hearing in police court this morning. |

Asian community seeks answers By TOM LOUNSBERRY About 120 Asian businessmen and family members of a slain Chinese restaurant owner swarmed the city's police station about noon on Friday seeking answers about his death. Representatives of the group also met with the Camden County prosecutor about the slaying of Bao Xing Lin, 53. Lin was shot five times Thursday during a robbery at the Happy Dragon Chinese restaurant he owned at 28th and Mickle streets in East Camden. He died hours later at Cooper University Hospital. Three men escaped with $150. Ying Hang Lin, who is general secretary of the Fujian Chinese Association of the Greater Philadelphia Area called the meetings "cordial and informative." |
|
"We wanted to know what is being done to find and prosecute his killers. We have offered to post a $20,000 reward, but we will wait a couple of days before making the offer formal," Lin said. Camden Police Chief Edwin Figueroa said the group also was seeking assistance in obtaining a visa for Lin's widow, who still lives in China, so that she might attend his funeral. She remained in China when Lin and his two sons came to the United States 10 years ago. "We offered our condolence to Lin's family and told them what we could about the investigation. We offered to refer their request for a visa to Congressman Rob Andrews' office, which we did. His office has assured us that they will do whatever they can," said Figueroa. |

Two
men charged with killing owner of Chinese restaurant By RENEE WINKLER Two Camden men were arraigned on felony murder charges Tuesday, four days after the owner of an East Camden Chinese restaurant was gunned down after turning over $150 in cash to robbers. The mid-day murder of Bao Xing Lin, 53, who had owned the Happy Dragon for more than a decade, occurred less than 20 yards from Cramer Elementary School. Superior Court Judge Samuel D. Natal set bail at $400,000 each for Brandon Smith, 19, of the 100 block of North 35th Street and Omar D. McClarin, 25, of the 1300 block of Jackson Street. Neither suspect showed any emotion during their brief court appearances. Both asked to be represented by public defenders. Assistant Camden County Prosecutor James Conley said Smith had admitted his involvement in the robbery and shooting. He said McClarin told an associate he had shot the victim as well. Conley said investigators did not yet know if two weapons were used in the murder. Two of Lin's sons attended the court hearing but did not appear to speak English when approached by reporters. A third son, Song Di, 23, was in the restaurant at the intersection of South 28th and Mickle streets when three men entered the store shortly after noon. Homicide investigators said the men forced Lin and Song Di to the back of the restaurant at gunpoint and demanded cash. After Lin gave the men $150, he was pistol-whipped and then shot five times, investigators said. His son was not hurt. At a news conference on Tuesday, acting Camden Police Chief Edwin Figueroa said police are working with Rep. Rob Andrews, D-Haddon Heights, to arrange a visa for Lin's wife to come from China to attend his funeral. Conley said the investigation continues. He said police tracked McClarin and Smith on Monday to a home in the 300 block of Washington Street. Initially refusing to leave the house, which was surrounded by teams of heavily armed police, the two were arrested on unrelated outstanding warrants, Conley said. After interrogation about the Lin murder, they were arrested later Monday, he said. |
